CoreWeave CEO Reports Strong Demand for AI Services
CoreWeave (NASDAQ:CRWV), an artificial intelligence infrastructure provider, reported continued strong demand at a recent tech conference. CEO Michael Intrator highlighted that the company is struggling to meet daily customer needs and described this as a 'unique moment' in its growth trajectory. The firm's second-quarter results showed significant revenue growth of 112%, reaching $2.6 billion for Q2 ending June 30, despite an operating loss of $49 million before interest costs. Adjusted EBITDA doubled year-over-year to $1.5 billion from $753 million in the same period last year. While CoreWeave remains unprofitable and faces challenges with high debt (interest costs reached $640 million during Q2), its strong growth has kept AI investors optimistic. The stock is up 18% so far this year, despite a broader decline of 24% over the past twelve months.
